Catching Up

Announcer’s Voice:When last we heard from our heroine…. Wowsers – it HAS been a long time since I’ve blogged. (Does anyone even blog anymore?). Since the last time y’all heard from me – so very much has happened. I’m not sure where to start. Frankly,…

Forgiveness

Even after all of these years – Little Miss Josi, my rescue baby, still doesn’t have a firm grasp on the concept of “doing her business outside”. Generally (actually, always) that’s MY fault – for either not getting her outside soon enough or leaving her…

Been There/Done That

Much as I hadn’t anticipated making a store run on Black Friday – I found myself dangerously low on ink and opted to make a dash to the local office supply store. Fortunately, they weren’t overly crowded, but there was just enough of a line…

Boomity

So. I haven’t been tweeting much these days (in case you haven’t noticed). Here’s the deal, tweeps. I did some thinking. Came to some much needed conclusions. You see, I have already proved that I can condemn like nobody’s business. You all know that I…

Buen Camino

A friend of mine is on the second leg of his Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James) is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching hundreds and hundreds of miles across Europe and coming together at the tomb…

June 4th
